Apologies for all the pictures, but I'm posting them here in the hope they are useful in providing a reference for work to mod CloD's landscape. As you can see, Ali's work on darkening the trees makes CloD's landscape much more realistic in a single move. Apologies if some are a bit blurry, but it's hard to fly the aircraft with one hand and take pictures with the other .

The images are all taken from my glider at heights of 2,000 - 5,000' over Wiltshire in the SW of England and not far from Salisbury (which is in the top left corner of CloD's map). Almost all are taken at times between 13:00 and 17:00. Most were taken in July and August. In August, some crop fields have been harvested, which explains the big, medium brown fields.

Obviously, the yellow of oil-seed rape would have been absent in the 1940s. Similarly, before the widespread use of agricultural pesticides the fields would have had more wild flowers and been less monochrome.

The landscape is quite typical of most of the South of England.

If people are annoyed by the bandwith taken up, let me know and I'll edit the post to remove them!
